Navajo Nation considers 1.4 million salary raise for delegates
WINDOW ROCK The Commission on Navajo Government Development will decide June 12 whether to raise each delegate’s salary from 25 000 to 35 000 a year, the first pay raise since the three branch government began in 1990. The commission’s 7 2 vote would push costs above 2.2 million annually for 88 delegates. If the commission forwards a recommendation, lawmakers cannot alter the figure, and the council would face a presidential veto risk from President Kelsey Begaye.

Health center opens to boost Hopi area care
On June 21 the Hopi Health Care Center opened its doors in Polacca to serve about 2,500 Hopi-area residents and Navajo communities. Senator Jon Kyl called the dedication historic, noting years of lobbying since 1970 and $30 million funded by federal and congressional action. The new 100000-square-foot ambulatory facility replaces the old inpatient unit, adds a birthing center and expanded services, and will eventually include housing for staff and patient transportation.
